Screen time isn't something you endure. You earn it.
Tempo locks the apps that eat your time — TikTok, Instagram, games, whatever you choose. There's only one key to reopen them: exercise. Every real minute of activity feeds your screen-time balance. As long as it's positive, all your apps open; using them draws it down minute by minute, and iOS re-locks everything on its own once it's empty — even when Tempo is closed.
No punishment, no guilt. Just a simple trade: you move, you unlock.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose the apps to block. Tempo keeps them locked.
2. Work out like you normally do (Apple Watch, Strava, the gym…). Tempo reads your workouts from Apple Health.
3. Open Tempo: your minutes are credited to a single balance. "Workout counted, +28 min."
4. While that balance is positive, all your apps unlock at once — nothing to set up app by app.
5. The time ticks down as you use them; at zero, iOS re-locks everything automatically.
WHAT MAKES TEMPO DIFFERENT
• Exercise is the currency. Other blockers pit your willpower against temptation. Tempo turns effort into a reward.
• One balance, zero micromanaging. No per-app timers to set: you earn, everything opens; you run out, everything closes.
• Every activity counts. Running, walking, cycling, swimming, strength training… weighted by effort. Treadmill walks included.
• Honest anti-cheat. Manually entered workouts in Health are ignored: you have to actually move.
• Tuned to you. Ready-made profiles (Gentle, Balanced, Athletic, Spartan) or fully custom rates.
ON YOUR WRIST (TEMPO PRO)
Your balance lives on your wrist: what's left to spend, what you earned today, the next reward — and your day hour by hour. Turn the crown for your streak of earned days, then your week.
Four complications for your watch face. And one thing your iPhone can't do alone: phone on the table, walk on the wrist. The watch counts those steps and reports them — Tempo keeps the better of the two sensors, never their sum. It's the same walk.
TOTAL PRIVACY
Nothing leaves your iPhone. No account, no server, no ads, no data collected. Your apps, your usage, your health data stay with you. Period.
